Thanks, Steven! They will make a fine addition to the history.

Not complaining, just curious: The pix all seem to have a very fine
checkerboard pattern on them. Is this imparted in scanning, or was it
on
the originals?


It's in the scanning. A different resolution can sometimes eliminate it.

I suspect that is a Moiré pattern caused by dot scanning a photo with
dots on it. Steven, take a close look at the photos you scanned and see if
they were printed with a screen that left dots. If they are, check the
scanner's user guide. Most scanners have a correction that can be applied to
significantly reduce the effect.
